F*** that was a cold windy place in Winter
We got chased off the jetty by some locals with knives and Citronella on a footy trip back in the early 90's. About 20 odd of us and 4 of them. We thought we were pretty tough before that
Wasn't my Grandfather was it? Couldn't have been him with his hips...
On Rapid Bay, my grandfather slept on the beach when they first started building the mine in 1940.
For over thirty five years he and my Nanna lived in the middle house (#2) of the top three closest to the Jetty.
To say that place is special to my family is an understatement.
Will never forget the tall ships in the First Fleet reenactment going past the Jetty at ~ 10:30 at night (full moon, gulf dead flat) on 01/01/1988.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
